Photosynthesis & Res
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cellular Respiration | The process that releases energy (ATP) by breaking down glucose. (converts food molecules (glucose) into a form usable (ATP) by the organism) |
| ATP (adenosine triphosphate) | Energy. Main energy source that cells use for most of their work. |
| Mitochondria | Organelle found in all organisms that is the site of cellular respiration |
| Definition of Cellular Respiration | The process of breaking the chemical bonds of glucose into energy. |
| Cellular Respiration Chemical Equation | C6H12O2 + 6O2 |
| Location of Photosynthesis | Chloroplast |
| Reactants of Photosynthesis | 6H20 + 6CO2 |
| Products of Photosynthesis | C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| Plants need these to survive | Water, carbon dioxide, and light |
| Animals need these to survive | Food, oxygen, and water |
| Gas released by plants during photosynthesis | oxygen |
| autotroph | An organism that makes its own food |
| heterotroph | An organism that cannot make its own food. |
| reactants | The starting material in a chemical reaction |
| chlorophyll | Absorbs light energy. |
| Pigment that gives a plant its green color. Found in the chloroplast | |
| chloroplast | organelle where photosynthesis takes place. |
| oxygen | product of photosynthesis |
| carbon dioxide | Gas taken in and used during photosynthesis. |
| leaf | the part of the plant where most photosynthesis takes place |
| light energy | energy from the sun that is used by plants to produce their own food by the process of photosynthesis |
| Photosynthesis | converting light energy to the chemical energy of food, in plants |
| Glucose | the type of sugar made during photosynthesis |
| product | a substance that is formed by a chemical reaction |
| water formula | H2O |
| carbon dioxide formula | CO2 |
| glucose formula | C₆H₁₂O₆ |
| oxygen | O2 |
| reactants of cellular respiration | glucose and oxygen |
| products of cellular respiration | carbon dioxide, water, and ATP |
